I have recently put down a deposit for two female kits who will be ready for pick up at the end of the month. They will be 8 weeks old and I am looking for some new gear for them. I am having a hard time narrowing it down to what I should get for these pretty girls. Does anyone have like a package for new chins?
I am looking for possibly a fleece cube, tube and/or hammock, perhaps all three. I am considering trying a fleece liner. They will be in a double FN which I feel they can grow into. I will be keeping them in just the top half until they are old enough to need additional space. I plan to use a chicken wire mesh for extra security. Any tips on where to get this and how best to secure it? I spoke to someone who had what they called "hardware cloth" installed on the inside with tight zip ties. I've also heard of people putting chicken wire on the outside but I worry about water bottle location and such with that.
Additionally I need to purchase additional wooden ledges and possibly a wooden house incase they would prefer it to fleece. Toys, hay cubes, dust possibly (I have some low quality stuff), and such would also probably be needed. I'm just not sure what to focus on or where to get it all. Are there people who sell the majority of this so I do not have to buy something from everyone?
Thanks for all your help. I feel like a newbie all over again even though I have had a chin for over five years.
